THE COLLECTORS: This Week in Comics [June 1, 2022]
It’s that time again Marvel fans, as we bring back our COLLETORS series; where we break down every Marvel title arriving this week in comics.
The continuation of Miles Morales saga, and the continuous exploration into characters like Ghost Rider and the new Doctor Strange; Welcome back to THE COLLECTORS
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38
One of the most interesting story arcs to come out of this week is an absolute must-have for COLLECTORS, as the team of Saladin Ahmed, Alberto Foche Duarte, and Christopher Allen bring to light the Empire of the Spider.
Shift and Miles both make their way through the multiverse to the Brooklyn that they don’t know in this issue that brings to life the villainous Miles clone Selim, and his reign of an entire timeline.
Ghost Rider #3
Johnny Blaze is back, as this week delivers COLLECTORS with the brand new story of the original Ghost Rider by Benjamin Percy, Cory Smith, and Brent Peeples.
The iconic Rider must uncover the truth of what happened to him at Hayden Falls, as he fends off both supernatural and government forces in this action-packed continuation of his brand new series.
Strange #3
The new sorcerer supreme is the focus of this brand new series from Jed Mackay and Marcelo Ferreira that should be on every COLLECTORS radar.
As Clea embraces her new role as Doctor Strange, she must confront the demonic presence in New York City; but perhaps it is them that needs protecting this time.
X-Men ’92: House of XCII #2
Everyone’s favorite incarnation of the X-Men has returned in this brand new series by Steve Foxe and Salva Espin that is a must-have for COLLECTORS of all things mutant.
Divulging a Krakoa that existed 30 years ago, mutant-kind must defend their new home from all threats; with perhaps their biggest challenge coming from one of their own.

The Variant of the Week
Carnage #3
Well, COLLECTORS, it’s a week of Skrull Variants, making this week’s decision an immensely difficult one; but at the end of the day, this Carnage #3 cover by Bjorn Barends is just hauntingly beautiful in the most horrific way.
The continued Carnage series by Ram. V. and Roge Antonio explore the fate of the deadly symbiote that is no longer tied to the human host that first granted it life.
What to Read on Marvel Unlimited
Ghost Rider #1
